Donkey Kong Country Returns to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The original sold over a million units in Japan last time I checked. DKC:TF has barely broken 100k thus far and had an opening week even worse than Bayonetta 2's (36k opposed to Bayo 2's 39k, initial shipment sell-through was ~35% opposed to Bayo 2's ~67%).

I'm not going to say that Bayo 2's sales aren't horrible, but they're not nearly as bad as they could have been.

As long as it sold more than 1 copy that would be true though...

So literal

However, despite my wording, the point still stands that there are indeed worse flops out there, and calling Bayo 2 the worst flop in recent memory is total hyperbole.
